Django with Jquery

[Alexis Selves]

Hello,
I am totally helpless. I am trying to use JQuery in my django
templates, but I always get in firebug this: $ not defined.

In my template I am linking jquery :
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/jquery.js"></script>

And then
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("Hello from jQuery");
});
</script>

But I always get nothing..
using ubuntu 9.10. Thanks for your help in advance.

Check with Firebug if the jquery script has been successfully loaded (using either the CSS or Net tabs)

Are you sure this file is being correctly loaded in the browser?  Is this line showing up in the generated HTML?

You don't get nothing, you get something that's just not what you expect.  It's much easier to help you debug if you tell us what you do get, and what steps you've taken to eliminate possibly sources of errors.

For example, in you situation I would check (and report on):

- whether the browser can load the page
- whether the <link> tag shows up in the browser (use "View Source" or Firebug)
- whether you can download the JQuery file manually at the location in the link
- whether the JQuery really was downloaded in the page (check using Firebug)

If all those tests were passed successfully then you've got a very different problem than if e.g. the browser can't load the page.

Hope this helps.

where do you have your static files? did you serve them as static files?
maybe ur only missing the slash to the js file path like
src="/jquery/jquery.js"

Did you try with 'jQuery' instead of '$' ?
If jQuery.no_conflict() was called, the $ variable isn't defined.

I always call no_conflict() to prevent any namespace collision with other JS Frameworks, especially with re-usable or partial code.

link to the Google jQuery instead of a local file (it's really fast
too)

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://google.com/jsapi" />
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load('jquery','1.3.2');
</script>
